I’m not a big fan of this long-running looter shooter.

But in showing us its release date Take-Two have given us an indication of whenGrand Theft Auto 6willnotrelease.

And that’s mildly interesting.

A mask of the mascot of Borderlands 4 is held in the robotic hand of an unseen character.

So, Borderlands again.

Still, there’s a fun bit of obvious deduction to glean here.

That’s to be expected, publishers like to space out their games for maximum sales.

All of which suggests GTA 6 probably won’t hit the shelves in September.

Or at least the weeks around Borderlands 4 will be a big buffer zone.

Zelnick himself has twice confirmed the open world crim sim is on-target for an autumn 2025 release.

Still, it feels like Take-Two has eliminated at least a couple of possible weeks from the guessing game.
